DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The compounds of Formula I can be prepared in an inert organic solvent by one of several processes.
According to one process, the compounds of Formula I are produced by reacting a sulfonamide of Formula II, wherein R1 and R2 are as previously defined, and an N-pyrimidinyl- or N-triazinylcarbamate of Formula III, wherein W, X and Z have the meanings defined under Formula I, and B--O-- is a phenoxy or alkoxy group which can be displaced as illustrated in Equation (1). ##STR2##
According to a second process, compounds of Formula I are produced by reacting a sulfonyl isocyanate or sulfonyl isothiocyanate of Formula IV, wherein R1, R2 and W are as previously defined, in the presence or absence of a base, with an amine of Formula V, wherein R, X and Z have the meanings defined under Formula I, illustrated in Equation (2). ##STR3##
According to a further process, illustrated in Equation (3), compounds of Formula I can be prepared by reacting a sulfonamide of Formula II given above, in the presence or absence of a base, with an isocyanate or isothiocyanate of Formula VI wherein W, X and Z are as previously defined. ##STR4##
Furthermore, compounds of Formula I can be produced by reacting an N-thiophenesulfonylcarbamate of Formula VII, illustrated in Equation (4), wherein R1, R2 and B have the meanings defined above, with an amine of Formula V. ##STR5##
The resulting ureas of Formula I can, if required, be converted by means of amines, alkali metal hydroxides or alkaline-earth metal hydroxides or quaternary ammonium bases, into addition salts. This is effected, for example, by reaction with an equimolar amount of a base, and removal of the solvent by evaporation.
The starting materials of the Formulae II, IV and VII are, in many cases, known or can be prepared by one skilled in the art according to methods described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,127,405; 4,398,939; 4,481,910; and 4,481,029, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The cyclopropylpyrimidines and cyclopropyltriazines of Formula V, to which the intermediates of Formulae III and VI are closely related, are also known and can be produced by one skilled in the art according to methods described in U.S. 4,515,626.
The selection of the appropriate process for the production of compounds of Formula I is dependent in part on the relative reactivities and syntheses of compounds of Formulae II-VII. Such decisions are obvious to one skilled in the art.
The following Example sets forth the invention in greater detail.
EXAMPLE 1 Methyl 3-[[[(4-cyclopropane-6-methoxy-1,3,5-triazine-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]aminosulfonyl]]thiophene-2-carboxylate
To 0.8 g of 2 -amino-4-cyclopropyl-6-methoxy-1,3,5-triazine in 35 mL of dry methylene chloride was added methyl 3-isocyanatosulfonylthiophene-2-carboxylate. After being stirred at reflux for one-half hour, the mixtue was cooled in an ice-acetone bath and the precipitate removed by filtration. Evaporation of the filtrate yielded a residue which was washed with a small amount of acetonitrile to yield 0.3 g of a solid. This product, m.p. 142°-169° C., showed absorption peaks by infrared spectroscopy at 1730, 1720, 1600 and 1550 cm-1, consistent with the desired structure.
NMR (CDCl3): δ 3.85 (s, CH3 O on triazine) 4.05 (s, CH3 O ester) 0.8-1.5 (m, cyclopropyl) 7.7-7.9 (m, thiophene).
This product was sufficiently pure for the purposes of this invention.
Following the procedures described earlier and exemplified in the Example, one skilled in the art can prepare the compounds of Tables I, II and III. ##STR6##

FORMULATIONS
Useful formulations of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared in conventional ways. They include dusts, granules, pellets, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates and the like. Many of these may be applied directly. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volumes of from a few liters to several hundred liters per hectare. High strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulation. The formulations, broadly, contain about 0.1% to 99% by weight of active ingredient(s) and at least one of (a) about 0.1% to 20% surfactant(s) and (b) about 1% to 99.9% solid or liquid inert diluent(s). More specifically, they will contain these ingredients in the following approximate proportions:

 *Active ingredient plus at least one of a Surfactant or a Diluent equals 
 100 weight percent.                                                      
Lower or higher levels of active ingredient can, of course, be present depending on the intended use and the physical properties of the compound. Higher ratios of surfactant to active ingredient are sometimes desirable, and are achieved by incorporation into the formulation or by tank mixing.
Typical solid diluents are described in Watkins, et al., "Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers", 2nd Ed., Dorland Books, Caldwell, N.J., but other solids, either mined or manufactured, may be used. The more absorptive diluents are preferred for wettable powders and the denser ones for dusts. Typical liquid diluents and solvents are described in Marsden, "Solvents Guide", 2nd Ed., Interscience, New York, 1950. Solubility under 0.1% is preferred for suspension concentrates; solution concentrates are preferably stable against phase separation at 0° C. "McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual", MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood, N.J., as well as Sisely and Wood, "Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents", Chemical Publishing Co., Inc., New York, 1964, list surfactants and recommended uses. All formulations can contain minor amounts of additives to reduce foaming, caking, corrosion, microbiological growth, etc.
The methods of making such compositions are well known. Solutions are prepared by simply mixing the ingredients. Fine solid compositions are made by blending and, usually, grinding as in a hammer or fluid energy mill. Suspensions are prepared by wet milling (see, for example, Littler, U.S. Pat. No. 3,060,084). Granules and pellets may be made by spraying the active material upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration techniques. See J. E. Browning, "Agglomeration", Chemical Engineering, Dec. 4, 1967, pp. 147ff. and "Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook", 5th Ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1973, pp. 8-57ff.

The ingredients are blended and milled to pass through a 100 mesh screen. This material is then added to a fluid bed granulator, the air flow is adjusted to gently fluidize the material, and a fine spray of water is sprayed onto the fluidized material. The fluidization and spraying are continued until granules of the desired size range are made. The spraying is stopped, but fluidization is continued, optionally with heat, until the water content is reduced to the desired level, generally less than 1%. The material is then discharged, screened to the desired size range, generally 14-100 mesh (1410-149 microns), and packaged for use.

Utility
Test results indicate that the compounds of the present invention are highly active preemergent or postemergent herbicides or plant growth regulants. Many of them have utility for broad-spectrum pre- and/or postemergence weed control in areas where complete control of all vegetation is desired, such as around fuel storage tanks, ammunition depots, industrial storage areas, parking lots, drive-in theaters, around billboards, highway and railroad structures. Some of the compounds have utility for selective weed control in crops, such as rice and wheat. Alternatively, the subject compounds are useful to modify plant growth.
The rates of application for the compounds of the invention are determined by a number of factors, including their use as plant growth regulants or as herbicides, the crop species involved, the types of weeds to be controlled, weather and climate, formulations selected, mode of application, amount of foliage present, etc. In general terms, the subject compounds should be applied at levels of around 0.01 to 10 kg/ha, the lower rates being suggested for use on lighter soils and/or those having a low organic matter content, for plant growth modification or for situations where only short-term persistence is required.
The compounds of the invention may be used in combination with any other commercial herbicide; examples of which are those of the triazine, triazole, uracil, urea, amide, diphenylether, carbamate and bipyridylium types.
The herbicidal properties of the subject compounds were discovered in a number of greenhouse tests. The test procedures and results follow. ##STR42##
TEST A
Seeds of crabgrass (Digitaria spp.), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli), wild oats (Avena fatua), morningglory (Ipomoea spp.), cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia). sorghum, corn, soybean, sugarbeet, cotton, rice, wheat and purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) tubers were planted and treated preemergence with the test chemicals disslolved in a nonphytotoxic solvent. At the same time, these crop and weed species were treated with a soil/foliage application. At the time of treatment, the plants ranged in height from 2 to 18 cm. Treated plants and controls were maintained in a greenhouse for sixteen days, after which all species were compared to controls and visually rated for response to treatment. The ratings, summarized in Table A, are based on a numerical scale extending from 0=no injury, to 10=complete kill. The accompanying descriptive symbols have the following meanings:
C=chlorosis or necrosis;
B=burn;
D=defoliation;
E=emergence inhibition;
G=growth retardation;
H=formative effects;
U=unusual pigmentation;
X=axillary stimulation;
S=albinism; and
6Y=abscised buds or flowers.

TEST B Postemergence
Two round pans (25 cm diameter by 12.5 cm deep) were filled with Sassafras sandy loam soil. One pan was planted with blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides), sugar beets, nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) tubers, crabgrass (Digitaria sanquinalis), sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia), teaweed (Sida spinosa), jimsonweed (Datura stramonium), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), giant foxtail (Setaria faberii) and rape (Brassica napus). The other pan was planted with wheat, cotton, rice, corn, soybean, wild oats (Avena fatua), cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), morningglory (Ipomoea hederacea), johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) and barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli). The plants were grown for approximately fourteen days, then sprayed postemergence with the chemicals dissolved in a nonphytotoxic solvent.
Preemergence
Two round pans (25 cm diameter by 12.5 cm deep) were filled with Sassafras sandy loam soil. One pan was planted with blackgrass, sugar beets, nutsedge, crabgrass, sicklepod, teaweed, jimsonweed, velvetleaf, giant foxtail and rape. The other pan was planted with wheat, cotton, rice, corn, soybeans, wild oats, cocklebur, morningglory, johnsongrass, and barnyardgrass. The two pans were sprayed preemergence with the chemicals dissolved in a nonphytotoxic solvent.
Treated plants and controls were maintained in the greenhouse for 28 days, then all treated plants were compared to controls and visually rated for plant response.
Response ratings are based on a scale of 0 to 10: where 0=no effect, and 10=complete control. The type of response is indicated by letters where G=growth retardation and C=chlorosis/necrosis.
